How to restore selected files from Time Machine backup

Don't ask me why I've made this post...

If you accidentally delete half of your projects I hope you have a recent backup available. Even if that's the case the graphical interface of Time Machine seems to be very limited. There is no easy way to tell which files are missing.

Use the CLI Luke!

So the CLI you say. OK.
Time Machine has a CLI command tmutils which is really handy if only you know how to use it.

Example.
You deleted some of your files from /Users/someone/files directory (I'm glad it's not a root directory).
